Applesauce Cake

This applesauce cake is a sweet loaf recipe.

Some might call it an apple bread, as in quick bread, but whatever you call it, it is absolutely delicious.

The applesauce in the recipe adds sweetness while cutting down on the amount of sugar in the recipe and keeps the cake nice and moist.

These kinds of easy cake recipes are wonderful to bake, then freeze for later use.

I sometimes slice the loaf ahead of time, wrap it well with a couple of layers of plastic wrap and freeze.

When you need a bit of cake just take it out by the number of slices you need and thaw. No need to thaw the whole loaf if you don't need it all.

Applesauce Cake

1 cup sugar
1 cup applesauce
1/3 cup oil
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon each salt and nutmeg

Preheat oven to 350ºF.

Mix the first 5 ingredients together. Mix the next 5 ingredients together separately. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix well. Lightly grease a loaf pan. Place mixture in pan and bake for 1 hour.

Topping (if desired):
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix together and sprinkle on top of the loaf before baking.

Tip:

• For lower fat baking, try substituting unsweetened applesauce for the oil in loafs and cakes. The taste is about the same and the fat content is cut considerably.
